Turn text into spoken audio using the OpenAI audio API - choose from 13 voices, adjust speed, and steer tone or emotion. Use whenever Byron asks to hear something read aloud, wants an mp3 or voiceover generated, asks to "say this", "read this out", "convert to audio/speech", "make an audio file", or wants to rehearse a script or presentation by listening to it. Also use when he asks to change the voice, make it faster or slower, or try different tones on audio that was already generated. Covers which speed levers actually work (measured), the 13 available voices, and the gpt-audio-mini path for genuinely re-performed fast speech.

Read, search, create, and modify notes in Byron's Obsidian vaults by editing the markdown files directly. Use whenever the user mentions Obsidian, "my vault", "my notes", a daily note, a journal entry, a project note, an MOC, or asks to find/save/update anything in a knowledge base - even if the word "Obsidian" is not used. There is a global vault at ~/repos/obsidian/, but Byron uses multiple vaults and this skill is not limited to one. Covers the content-quality rules for note writing, frontmatter conventions, wikilinks, daily notes, the read/write policy, and how to avoid breaking the graph.

Use this skill any time a .pptx file is involved in any way — as input, output, or both. This includes: creating slide decks, pitch decks, or presentations; reading, parsing, or extracting text from any .pptx file (even if the extracted content will be used elsewhere, like in an email or summary); editing, modifying, or updating existing presentations; combining or splitting slide files; working with templates, layouts, speaker notes, or comments. Trigger whenever the user mentions "deck," "slides," "presentation," or references a .pptx filename, regardless of what they plan to do with the content afterward. If a .pptx file needs to be opened, created, or touched, use this skill.

Query Polymarket prediction markets and place trades on the user's behalf. Discovers active markets, reads order books and prices, checks the user's positions/orders/balance, and — only when the user explicitly asks — places, modifies, or cancels orders. Use this skill whenever the user asks about Polymarket, prediction-market odds, "what are markets saying" about an event, wants to look up a market's price/depth/history, or asks to buy/sell/place/cancel an order on a prediction market. Trigger even when the user doesn't say "Polymarket" — phrases like "what are the odds on X", "is there a prediction market for Y", "buy YES on X", or "cancel my order on Z" are strong signals. Never initiate a trade autonomously based on the skill's own analysis — order placement is gated behind explicit user instruction.
